Bungee jumping activity at Pelussin, Pilat Regional Park; typical duration: about 1-2 hours including briefing.
Bungee jumping from the Viaduc de Pelussin is a high-jump activity at Pelussin, within the Pilat Regional Park in the Loire department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The viaduct is about 50 km south of Lyon, so the outing is manageable as a half-day trip from the city by car. The jump drops participants from a bridge-like structure over a wooded valley, with a rebounding elastic cord, and the full session lasts about one to two hours including the arrival, paperwork, harness fitting and briefing. Prices start from about €80 (~$90). The operator is a local bungee provider, and its identity and the booking details should be confirmed through the Manawa platform page referenced for the activity. The activity needs more nerve than physical fitness. Participants should be in reasonable health, free of heart, back, neck or pregnancy-related conditions, and within the operator's weight range; minimum age and weight limits vary by operator and generally apply to younger jumpers, who may need written parental consent. Participants should say so at booking if they have any medical conditions. A harness is supplied, and visitors wear comfortable clothes, closed shoes and, for those with long hair, tie it back; loose items such as phones, keys and glasses should be left with a companion. Safety rests on certified equipment, redundancy in the attachment points and a briefing on posture and the jump sequence, followed by a lowering or recovery at the end. Operators stop jumping in strong wind, thunderstorms or heavy rain, and the activity can be rescheduled or cancelled for weather reasons. In an emergency, the operator's team handles first response, and 112 reaches rescue services. The best season is May to September, when conditions are most reliable, and the Pilat Regional Park offers walking trails nearby for those making a day of the trip. Visitors who want photographic or video souvenirs should ask whether these are offered, and whether personal cameras are allowed.
